1000Access drives strong income growth for 1000MTG advisors and beyond

1000 Mile Travel Group (1000MTG), a global leader in travel solutions for independent travel advisors, has announced the strong performance of its air, hotel and car booking platform, 1000Access, with more than $1 million USD in total transaction value (TTV) and over $40,000 in commission payouts to advisors between January and April 2025 alone.

Designed to simplify and supercharge travel bookings and powered by Sabre, a leading global distribution partner, 1000Access has quickly become a go-to tool for independent travel advisors seeking a more streamlined, efficient, and profitable way to book travel worldwide.

Nicola Veltman, CEO of 1000 Mile Travel Group, says the results reflect the platform’s core mission.

“1000Access was created with our independent advisors in mind—to give them a smarter, faster, and more profitable way to book travel globally. These early results prove that when you pair great technology with the right people, you drive real success. We’re thrilled to see our advisors embracing and using the platform to grow their business,” says Veltman.

Offering air, hotel, and car content,t including hotels, apartments, and boutique stays, 1000Access aggregates multiple suppliers into a single, easy-to-navigate platform. It enables fast quotes, real-time booking, branded itineraries, and direct commission tracking, with average earnings of up to 4%.

Christy Shafer, General Manager and Senior Vice President for North America, says the tool is already changing the way advisors work.

“Our advisors are seeing meaningful gains—not just in income, but in time saved and client satisfaction. 1000Access gives them back control, confidence, and the ability to deliver a seamless service their clients truly value,” says Shafer.

Nicole Lindberg, 1000MTG Affiliate Travel Advisor and owner of Nicole Lindberg Travel, says 1000Access has been a game changer for her and her business.

“Its simplified interface makes it much easier and faster to use compared to the full Sabre GDS, significantly reducing the chances of errors. I’ve especially appreciated how seamless hotel bookings are with 1000Access. The integration of codes allows me to offer more value to my clients, and the automated steps to create the booking for our commissions ensure I never miss out on earnings. These features alone have made a noticeable difference in my workflow,” says Lindberg.

From short stays to multi-city itineraries, 1000Access offers a powerful solution for independent advisors juggling the demands of fast-paced, high-expectation clients. Key features include:

  • Access to over 1 million global accommodation options
  • Aggregated content from trusted global and niche suppliers
  • Automated e-tickets, itineraries, and invoices
  • Branded quotes and client-facing itineraries
  • Real-time availability and instant booking
  • Full integration with Tramada, a proprietary limited platform for seamless post-booking workflows
  • Commission transparency and simplified payment processing
  • Plus, after-hours support, phone support for urgent same-day departures, and a dedicated 1000Access trained ticketer

Nichole Marcum, 1000MTG Affiliate Travel Advisor and owner of Marcum Travel Consulting, says 1000Access has completely redefined her planning experience.

“The platform is incredibly user-friendly, with an intuitive interface that makes navigating through options effortless. From the moment you log in, it’s clear that the system was designed with the user in mind. What stands out most is how much time it saves. Instead of endlessly comparing flights and accommodations, everything is integrated into one place. One of my favorite parts is that bookings are directly uploaded into Tramada. The support team has also been more than helpful with any questions I have had while learning the system,” says Marcum.

As part of the Virtuoso Air Preferred Partner Program and with usage from the wider travel industry continuing to rise and new supplier integrations in development, Veltman sees 1000Access as a long-term differentiator for travel advisors.

“We’re committed to continuously improving the platform with better content, smarter functionality, and more automation—because our advisors deserve the best tools in the business,” says Veltman, “their feedback is invaluable, helping us to take this tool into the future, where it will evolve as the industry does and help lead the way.”

1000Access is available to 1000 Mile Travel Group Advisors, Virtuoso members, and mid-sized agencies in North America, with other regions to follow. It forms part of 1000MTG’s broader strategy to equip its global network with high-performance tools that drive profitability, autonomy, and exceptional client service.
